The 5th Hallelujah Psalm[a]

150 Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his temple.
Praise him high in the sky,
    where he shows his great strength.
Praise God for the great things that he has done.
Praise him because he is great and powerful.
Praise him with music!
Yes! Use trumpets, harps and lyres
    to praise God![b]
Dance and hit drums to praise him!
Make music with harps and flutes
    to praise him!
Make music with big cymbals and small cymbals
    to praise him!
Everything that is alive should praise the Lord.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
